Absolute highlight of my Gran Canaria holiday

F6712ONdoram, Sept 2025

I never tried scuba diving before, but I knew I wanted to give it a go, so I decided do the PADI open water course at Blue Water Diving. Prior to booking, I rang the owner, Kate, and she was incredibly helpful on the phone and patiently answered my many questions. I then booked the course online and showed up at the specified time. When I arrived, everyone was very friendly and I was directed to my instructor Eileen straight away. She went over my paperwork with me and set me and my gear up for the day. On the first day I completed one confined water dive on the Puerto Rico beach and two open water dives, about 5 min boat journey from Blue Water Diving. Despite me having no previous experience scuba diving Eileen made sure I enjoyed myself and felt very calm and relaxed the whole time. She was friendly, methodical, patient and good at explaining and going over different skills. On the second day I completed two more open water dives in the same spot and my partner who is already PADI open water diver certified was able to join me for both. Despite slightly stronger current and somewhat poorer visibility the second day was also a major success. Eileen was always right next to me during all of my dives and we were joined by other divemasters (some in training) who were all very friendly and always ready to help. I felt safe the whole time which meant I could focus on learning and enjoying the beautiful marine life. I can't sing enough praises to Eileen and the entire Blue Water Diving team. I highly recommend them and my partner and I are already looking into doing our PADI Advanced Open Water Course with them in the future! :)

Padi OWD

From the very first moment I felt truly welcomed. The staff had an engaging and positive attitude that really set the tone for the whole experience. The instructor was highly knowledgeable, very pedagogical, and had a fantastic ability to explain things in a safe and inspiring way. All in all, this made the experience of getting my OWD certification even better than I could have imagined. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic 👌

Starting from zero experience in scuba diving, I took this course at Blue Water Diving and had an absolutely marvelous experience! I learnt so much in a few days and had some great fun dives as well. Well-trained and competent instructor, lovely crew, and a fantastic group dynamic. The instructor really sensed what I needed and gave me a lot of confidence — or, to use the instructor's own words: lovely sweetheart! Thank you so much!

Unforgettable experience

Mauro_Jessy, May 2025

It was my first diving experience and not knowing if I liked it I agreed to do a first test for less than 90 euros. Rental of complete equipment and cylinder are included in the price. Eileen gave me a lot of confidence and made me discover a new world. So I decided to spend a few days to obtain a first PADI Oper Water patent. Erin was my instructor and had the patience and ability to make it easy. She's very good and capable. Diving has always been fun and exciting with beautiful sightings. I would like to thank all the staff for following me carefully and making me feel good, like a family. I will definitely come back to see you.
